Hanoi5 Posted September 21, 2015 Report Share Posted September 21, 2015 [hv=pc=n&e=st97432ha2dqj975c&d=e&v=n&b=2&a=?]133|200[/hv] You're playing MP's. Your 2M opening bids show 5 cards in the Major 4+ in an undisclosed minor and less than opening values. So if you have a weak-2 in a Major you have to open 2♦ (Multi). What's your call?

That horrid 6 card suit doesn't look like Multi to me, when I have this gadget. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wank Posted September 22, 2015 Report Share Posted September 22, 2015 pass. my spades are crap. i don't want to stress those. i'm not short of defence. there's no rush to pre-empt. better to try to describe my hand later, for example with micheal's. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ajfonty Posted September 23, 2015 Report Share Posted September 23, 2015 2♠ is not unreasonable, trading the extra spade for the terrible suit, but I'd most likely pass and see how the auction develops. Who knows what can happen? Sometimes you can get a little lucky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gszes Posted September 24, 2015 Report Share Posted September 24, 2015 2s Using the toy. Spades is not only our most likely game but also our most likely preempt/sac and these colors are ideal for all 3 ideas. The fact that we have a pretty decent run out suit (in case p really hates spades) is only encouraging me further. With really good spades and ick diamonds I would be leaning toward using multi to show a weak 2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WesleyC Posted September 24, 2015 Report Share Posted September 24, 2015 Given your agreements this looks like an auto 2S. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I rank1. 2♠ Lucas or whatever. If you have the perfect club in in your bag, you might as well use it.2. 2♦ Multi. Might be OK were that were your only option.. But less descriptive, less consultative, and leaves opponents more room to explore. [/hv] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jogs Posted September 24, 2015 Report Share Posted September 24, 2015 I was willing to open 2♠ without your convention. In a home team against strong opposition I held this hand as dealer, both vul. ♠ T98432♥ 5♦ A74♣ A83 I opened 2♠. The disciplined opponent holding this hand passed.The spades are crap. So what? Double game swing for us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
